Abborado.com down
The website of Abborado Studios, the people behind the upcoming Once Upon a Time: Earth, now gives an "Account Suspended" error message. I've been suspecting it to be vaporware for a while now, and I suppose this is the final nail. Quite a shame too, there was a time when I was really looking forward to this one.

I know... I was gutted when I logged in the other day to find the site down... I've been checking in on it quite regularly for the past couple of years, and was starting to get very angry about the lack of updates, especially when six month ago, one of their team promised some information that very weekend, and then we never heard from him again.
To anyone who's interested. Here are some screenshots I found of the game from a couple of years ago: http://www.gamepad.de/neuvorstellungen/files/Once-Upon.pdf I can't believe they just gave up on it like that. If adventuregamers.com could find out what happened that would be really cool. |

Wow, I haven't thought of Once Upon a Time in Japan: Earth in a long time. Ben Keeney, the lead designer and one of Abborado's co-founders used to post here at the AG forums under the name "Once A Villain", but it doesn't look like he's posted for over two years.

I am sorry to hear this, yes the site is indeed gone for now. It was a very promsing game and i think that quite a lot of it was completed...the music was a favorite of mine. We will see what we can find out.
